    I'm thinking of buying a Corvair from my grandpa, seeing as how it's not a terribly confusing car, they're cheap, and I can pick a complete one up for 500 bucks.
    Can someone, as stupid this will sound, tell me how they think a blue monza with maybe a slight chop, no handles, a white top, and maybe even a set of WWW's would look? :D Even better, a photochop..

    That body is too new for white whites.

    Go with astros and skinny whites and lots of flake.

    I always thought the Corvair coupes were good looking cars. Don't go 50's on a 60's car though. Torque Thrust wheels with the gray centers and brushed rim would look great. Maybe some redline tires too.

    Looks much better with the Astro and skinny whites.

    Still a little to muscle car though IMHO.

    Maybe a cool scallop or subtle panel job would help, but I'm at work so maybe someone else can do that

    Go with slotted Astros...if ya' can find em.

    And very true what most others are saying....don't go with wide whites
     
  13. The first question I have is what year and model? As in, is it the same (or very similar) to the picture you posted?

    The rear of the rear fender calls out for Bellflower pipes or something similar, especially if routing them would work with the rear engine 'naturally'.

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Personally I'd go with a "road race" look. Steelies and racing stripes.

    How about a Salt Flat look? Dumped with Moon discs would look pretty killer.

    I agree...1-Shot, that looks sweet. I like the color & scallops. Definitely skinnier whites.

    The irony of this project is, I always leaned ford..
    Chevy cars are better looking though.

    I'm thinking of doing that metal flake green, that was sick 1-shot!
    I don't think I'll go for steelies or astros, but I might consider something with less gaps, or even wires.

    Also, one last question, how would you guys lower a unibody car like a 'vair?
    and thanks for all the answers, by the way.
